In addition to the traditional embedded software tools portfolio, ETAS is offering consultancy services for calibration. ETAS consultants are experts and project managers with long-term practical experience in the calibration of powertrain and chassis systems. Calibration consultants support the complete development and calibration process, including smart and virtual …

The efficiency of an engine control system represents a key issue in systems development for both automotive and marine applications. In marine diesel systems, speed governors are important components that enable the tuning of the injection performance, affecting fuel consumption and exhaust gas composition. At the …

ETAS ASCMO is a widely used tool suite for mathematical modeling, simulation, and optimization. Based on the Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology, ETAS ASCMO uses a new, measurement-based statistical modeling algorithm. It accurately simulates the behavior of complex systems such as engines, transmissions, and vehicles. In addition to modeling, ETAS ASCMO offers a variety of …

The European Union’s air quality focuses primarily on two pollutants: soot particulates and nitrogen emissions (NOx). Emissions of both are a particular challenge in heavy-duty diesel engines. DENSO’s advanced engineering clearly shows how soot and NOx emissions can be cut while at the same time reducing system complexity. ETAS development and prototyping tools …

Over 50 participants attended ETAS Connections 2014, which took place recently at the Robert Bosch Haus in Stuttgart. On the agenda at the management event were AUTOSAR, cooperation on software development, and the issues raised in this regard by current topics such as highly automated driving, Car-2-X communication, and safety.

In 2014, ETAS will further expand its global network of Real Time Applications (RTA) Consulting Services, adding locations in Japan and South Korea. One current key issue is the support for migration towards AUTOSAR software, another being advice and consulting in the area of functional safety. At this time, successful projects are underway in Germany, North America, the …

The Brazilian Team UNICAMP e-Racing, sponsored by ETAS − among others − was the champion in the Brazilian and US events with the highest score ever at any Formula SAE competition. The Electric Formula SAE competition began in the purely electric category in Brazil and the United States in 2012/2013 following the example of European competitions, such as the …

Hybridization, energy management, and more stringent emission limits are quickly leading to greater demands on automotive control. For precalibrating electronic control units to handle these increasingly complex demands, ETAS INCA – the measurement, calibration, and diagnostic software – is regarded as the tool of choice. Version 7.1 offers much greater performance and usability. What’s …

To conduct product tests, the makers of photovoltaic systems would rather not have to wait for the sun. For its customer Bosch Power Tec GmbH, ETAS has created a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing system that stimulates the solar inverter software without requiring actual voltage or current inputs.

Making security in automotive IT systems holistic, economically efficient, and structured

As automotive IT systems become ever more closely networked, they must be protected against unauthorized manipulation to ensure the safety of all road users. This calls for holistic and structured approaches to security that utilize available resources as economically as possible. One such holistic security concept that holds great promise …

Car-2-Car communication is the next major evolutionary stage for road travel. Once vehicles are able to exchange messages and warnings, it will be possible to recognize hazards in advance and better manage traffic flow. But the open communication interfaces they will use must be safeguarded against unauthorized access. Manufacturers, research projects, and pilot …
